Whispers on the Wind

BEST WESTERN ADVENTURE SCREENPLAY - Wild Bunch Film Festival, 2022 In the harsh Arizona Territory of 1874, three orphaned brothers — Henry, George, and Jody — retreat to a hidden fort they built themselves after their father is murdered and their homestead seized by outlaws. Isolated but determined, the boys prepare for a final stand to reclaim what was taken from them. But when a mysterious traveler arrives, loyalties are tested and truths unravel, triggering a deadly chain of events that escalates into a siege. As bullets fly and secrets surface, the boys must confront not only their enemies, but what it means to survive without losing who they are. A tense, character-driven Western with indie sensibilities, Whispers on the Wind is a coming-of-age survival tale that blends emotional depth with cinematic stakes — The Outsiders meets True Grit, seen through the eyes of children forced to grow up too fast on a vanishing frontier.
